Before starting The Next Practice, Yann held several leadership roles - as an entrepreneur, a Fortune 500 company executive, a UN director and a strategy consultant, across 30+ developed and developing markets. He graduated valedictorian from the Ecole de Hautes Etudes Commerciales (Economics and Business) in France and received an MBA from Harvard Business School.

Yann's passion is innovation, or how to get organisations, both small and large, to reenergize themselves by unleashing their hidden creative talents.
